Ways to cure the gay

From an article where 1 in 6 British psychiatrists has tried to "turn gays straight."

Aversion therapy
This was used in the 1950s and '60s. Doctors gave male patients a slide show that contained pictures of sexually attractive men and women, with a lever that let them change slides. If they spent too much time on the male pics, they received an electric shock. Instead of the electrical shock, a drug that induced the gay patient to vomit was also used. Aversion therapy lasted until the 1980s.

Covert sensitization
Doctors advised their patients to masturbate to a homosexual fantasy and then switch to a heterosexual one near orgasm. It required them to counter homosexual thoughts with shameful fantasies, like their parents discovering them.

Hypnotherapy and psychoanalysis
The obligatory psychiatric methods of hypnotherapy and psychoanalysis were also used.

Derek Munn, of the gay rights organization Stonewall, said that "so-called gay cure therapies are wholly discredited. The conclusions of this research are a welcome reminder that what gay and lesbian people need is equal treatment by society, not misguided treatment by a minority of health professionals."

So can we all put it to rest now, along with scientific findings in the brain? If you're gay, you're gay.
